Marriage Record for Hans Hansen and Maren 14 April 1758, Gestelev, Sallinge, Svendborg, Denmark
On Hans Hansen's (2MP5-6BP) page under memories (3rd memory) is a marriage record. Does that record show his or her parents? Can someone read this for me?

This marriage record does not record parents' names. Only the groom's and bride's names are given.
The record reads: "the 14th (of) April were Hans Hansen and Maren Jensdatter married in Giest: (Gestelev) church." (The parish name is Giesteløv in the column headings.)
However, their betrothal record in the same record (left page, second column, halfway down) gives a little more information-no parents' names still but it gives their place of residence. It reads: "1758 the 12th (of) February were Hans Hansen at Nørschow (Norskov) and Maren Jensdatter of the same place engaged to be married. The bondsmen were Sten Eyler (or Ejler) and Claus Pedersen".

This appears to be the family in the 1787 census: https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/cid529415. (Note: Frid. Rasmusen is not a member of the family he is a " cripple and receiving alms (financial help from the parish)".
